For the annual Red Dot Auction 2012 held at the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity each May; I contributed a mixed media work titled “two roads–an essential reading list” (see below).

The idea behind the Red Dot Auction is that artists submit a work of art on a canvas the size of which is restricted to just 12″ square. The artist signs the work on the reverse and consequently bidders at the fundraiser bid on the works without knowing who the art is by. There’s always the possibility that you may recognize an artist’s style, but essentially you bid on it because you love it. In the two years the auction has been held, no work of art has gone unsold.

The Center reaches out to artists from around the country and in 2012’s Red Dot Auction over 50 artists participated and nearly $50,000.00 was raised for the Center’s programs. If you would like to donate a work of art to this worthy cause, please contact me as I am the coordinator for the participating artists (all media accepted as long as it is no larger than 12″ square.)
